What to do in the situation of a tick bite?
Ticks look for warm, moist areas of the body to bite into and soak up the blood of their victim. This leads to unpleasant itching at the bite site.
If you have discovered a tick on your dog that has already bitten itself, you can carefully grasp it directly behind the bite site with special tick forceps or a tick hook and pull it out.
Remove tick - but how?
Ticks can transmit different diseases. This usually happens a few hours after the tick bite. Be careful not to squeeze the body of the tick.
This could push pathogens from the tick into the dog's bloodstream. Just gently pull the tick out of your dog's skin.
